And the answers to some questions many people have had:

What’s the basic difference between the two?

Memory Maker does everything digitally while PhotoPass+ included some printed pics and a CD of photos.

Memory Maker also allows you to see and download photos of friends and family who are linked within My Disney Experience. If you don’t want other people to see your pics, you have the option to restrict access.

Where do I order Memory Maker?

What the heck is an “entitlement?”

This is a word that Disney is using to basically describe the person who “owns” the Memory Maker package. For instance, if I buy Memory Maker for our next family trip, I would probably just designate myself as the person with the Memory Maker entitlement since I have the My Disney Experience account and generally coordinate everything for our family.

Anybody who is on my reservation will have access to the same things that I do (like viewing pics, scanning ride photos, etc.) but only I can download pics as the owner or person with the entitlement.

The entitlement can be reassigned to somebody else as long as no pictures have been downloaded yet.

If I already pre-purchased PhotoPass+, what do I do with my voucher?

You have a couple of options:

Keep the voucher and redeem it just as you would have before

Return your PhotoPass+ and buy Memory Maker. You’ll need to fill out the return form and return the CD that was sent to you after you ordered. Although the return form says it must be returned within 14 days, Disney is honoring all returns given the special circumstances.

A lot of people have been asking me what I would do – keep or exchange. If it was me, I’d keep PhotoPass+ if 1.) I planned to eat at 1 or more of the dining locations where you get printed pics with PhotoPass+ (see chart above for those locations) or 2.) the CD of stock/gallery pics was valuable to me (it’s included on PhotoPass+ but costs $30 extra on Memory Maker).

I like PhotoPass+ better – can I still buy it?

No, you can’t. The only people who can still use PhotoPass+ are those who pre-purchased it before December 6, 2013.

What if I’m staying off-site? Can I still use Memory Maker?

Yes, while on-site guests will have Memory Maker linked to their MagicBands, off-site guests will still be able to order and be given an RFID-enabled card that can be scanned instead of MagicBands.

What about the PhotoCD that includes PhotoPass pics without dining and ride photos – is that still an option?
